Research the requirements
of each
dental school you
wish to apply to well before the application opens and check to see if
they have supplemental materials and fees required to apply.

Keep all of your application
information in one central folder or document. Be sure to include
information and requirements of all the schools you will apply to and
their application deadlines. Store information on all of the
extracurricular activities you participate in during your undergraduate
years as well as community service, leadership, shadowing and research so
that when it comes time to fill out your application, it will be easy to
list everything you have done in college.

Make sure your social media
profiles are either on private or are very professional. You don’t want
your online presence and silly things you did in high school to impact
your likelihood of getting in to dental school.

“Congratulations! Your application has positively impressed our admissions committee, and we would like to invite you to an interview at our school.” After months of working hard on your applications and DATs, you’ve finally gotten a precious invitation to interview at a dental school. Now you have a few weeks to arrange your travel and housing, not to mention a short trip to a store to select your interview attire.
